About: Hi! My name is Jordyn and I am 25 years old. I have had dogs my whole life, and I love them! I have had a Husky and Labrador Retriever, a Rottweiller, and I currently have a Goldendoodle that I have cared for since she was a puppy. I used to dog sit/walk for friends and family members, and have multiple years of experience on Rover. Now I hope to help take care of your dog too! I have taken care of many dogs ranging from Papillions to Great Danes. I love interacting with all breeds of dogs. I am available Thursday through Sunday. I would be happy to care for your dog! I work a hybrid schedule and will typically be available Thursday through Sunday to do walks, house sit, or do drop in visits for your pet. I always make sure doors and other entrances are closed and locked upon entry and exit. Your pet will always have food and water according to owner instructions.
“Asher was absolutely amazing and so incredibly patient with my cat who can experience extreme separation anxiety. Every care step was followed and multiple pictures per visit were provided, leaving me fully at ease that my precious baby was being taken care of in the same way that I would have. Absolutely would love and fully plan to book again in the future!!”

“Paige took care of our cat for 2 weeks. We have only great things to say about her. She is a very reliable, responsible, punctual, trustworthy and caring pet sitter. She followed all our instructions and sent us daily updates with pictures. We knew that our cat was in good hands, because she looked very relaxed and comfortable around Paige. We will definitely reach out to Paige again to look after our cat and highly recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter. Thank you, Paige!”

“Lesley is the Best!! So caring and very thoughtful. She sends pics and messages and she gave me such piece of mind. If she has availability she always does her best to be helpful and I’m so thankful to have found her. I’m going to miss her now that I’m moving to a different area. Best wishes for continued Success!! 😊👏”

“Sanya did a great job caring for my cats while I was out of town. I was worried my cats would be anxious and timid with someone new but they were very comfortable around Sanya. It was so encouraging to see them quickly warm up to her and have a nice time while I was away!”

“Elena did an excellent job with my two cats over a long weekend (30 min drop in visits x twice daily). She played with them, fed them according to the instructions, and cleaned the box. She was attentive to my requests as an owner and to the cats needs. Will absolutely rebook in the future!”

“Hilary did an awesome job with our 2 cats! She was on time, fed and medicated them, hung out with them and sent pix! She is by far the best person we've ever had watch our cats. Hilary took care of cleaning the litter and bringing in the mail every day, too. We highly recommend her - she clearly enjoys what she does, and we are super grateful!”

“Cinders and Pepper had an amazing time with Cassidy! She followed all care instructions, arrived promptly for check-ins, and gave great reports with photos. They look forward to seeing her again!”

“Skyler is great with our puppy! She feels like she cares for our little guy like her own. She always send detailed updates and great photos and videos. We know our puppy is in good hands when she comes to watch him. We appreciate her warmth as well as her professionalism. We will definitely use her in the future!”

About: I have over six years of experience providing dedicated care for dogs and one year with cats, specializing in everything from overnight house sitting to daily visits for walks, meals, and playtime. As a full-time pet care professional, I easily manage multi-pet households and design balanced routines tailored to each animal's needs. I have extensive experience supporting both high-energy puppies who need basic training reinforcement and senior pets requiring extra patience, gentle pacing, and medication administration. I am incredibly detail-oriented, remain completely calm under pressure, and prioritize consistent communication by sending regular text, photo, and video updates. At home, I have a friendly one-year-old Chihuahua mix who loves welcoming new dog companions. While I dedicate my own mornings, middays, and evenings to your animals, I am personally occupied on weekends between 5:00 PM and 10:00 PM. During this brief window, my wife will step in to care for the pets, ensuring your animals are never left unattended and receive uninterrupted, reliable attention. I am genuinely passionate about animals—the kind of person who always stops to greet a dog on the sidewalk—and we will treat your pets with the absolute love, safety, and respect they deserve as members of the family. Pet care is the central focus of my daily schedule. Because I have a highly flexible routine, I am able to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, and structured play sessions throughout the day. My mornings start with fresh water, feeding, and an initial stretching walk, followed by regular check-ins and companionship every few hours and an evening walk. On weekends, I dedicate extra time to longer walks, outdoor play, ensuring every guest feels safe, engaged, and fully integrated into a stable daily flow. I treat every pet as if they were a member of my own family. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, so I closely follow any specific feeding schedules, house rules, and instructions you provide. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine to minimize any separation anxiety. I provide constant companionship, keep a watchful eye during play, and give plenty of individual attention, affection, and belly rubs so they feel completely safe and loved while you are away.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, I’ve always dreamed of having my own! Once I recused one I couldn’t stop, now I have 3 angel rescue boys! I can walk two of them at a time, I’m always watching for other dogs, I let them sniff as long as they want, looking for bikes/ cars, being very vigilant the entire walk to ensure their safety. I recently moved to the area with two of my rescues and my partners Lab. Please message me if you have any questions, I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! I love walking dogs, it bring me peace! I have my dogs on a schedule so I would easily be able to fit in more! I take care of my three dogs by giving them enrichment walks, playtime, snuggle time and backyard time. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and always plan to.
“Jannatul is the absolute best cat sitter!! She has watched our Leo twice now and he loves her! She’s so sweet and makes sure to play with your cat and take care of any extra needs that they may have. Definitely recommend her!”

“Would highly recommend. Jewelee was very thoughtful and caring about our pets. We mainly booked Jewelee to look after our three dogs. She paid particular attention to their eating and outside time schedules, and cuddled with them throughout the day. We came home to three very happy pups, and the place was very clean. We really appreciated Jewelee's help, and would highly recommend her.”

First time using Rover, and Olga was amazing! Frequently kept me updated on Coopers status, including plenty of pics. Had the schedule this last minute and on Thanksgiving Day, and Olga was more than happy to help. Will definitely use her again in the future, and highly recommend.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Sterling stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Sterling choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Sterling with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
